Mass schedules resume with limited Mass attendance and special provisions for the celebration of Mass. Montelores Catholic Parish Office has more information and will contact people.

A MESSAGE FROM FR. LORRENZO: I want you to know that I pray for all of you. I say Mass daily and pray for all of you and for the scheduled Mass intentions. I invite you to pray and to watch or listen to a Mass or to make a Spiritual Communion.

Masses in English and Spanish at https://www.ewtn.com. Check local listings for televised or audio Masses.

Mass is recorded at St. Columba Catholic Church in Durango on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. You may see these at their website www.stcolumbacatholic.org

When unable to receive the Holy Eucharist, you are encouraged to pray with the Sunday Gospel and make an Act of Spiritual Communion such as described at Spiritual Communion.

In a time like this, when Mass is unavailable, the Catholic faithful are dispensed from their Sunday Mass obligation. . . .

During this time of the global pandemic, let us continue to remain in prayer and solidarity as we pray for the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe and Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus to watch over the Diocese of Pueblo, grant wisdom to the medical and scientific community, and for a quick resolution to this global health crises.

The Montelores Catholic community consists of Roman Catholics in Montezuma and Dolores counties in southwestern Colorado. This area is a rich mixture of physical terrains and cultural heritages – mountains, desert, farm country, people newly arrived and archaeological sites of people who lived in the area more than a thousand years ago. The area also includes a Ute Indian reservation and Mesa Verde National Park.Four Roman Catholic churches are active here. Each has its own identity and history, yet many activities are shared.

We are in the Diocese of the Little Way

"Our patroness, St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, is here with us through anything we face.
Let us also imitate St. Therese in her little way. Right now, we may not be able to do all we want. We may not be able to do big things. But we can always do small things with love." .... Diocese of Pueblo

“Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing.”
– St. Therese of Lisieux

“Our Lord does not so much look at the greatness of our actions, or even at their difficulty, as at the love with which we do them.” – St. Therese of Lisieux
